Nice car
Ive seen that blue with chrome wheels and chrome door handles and it looked quite nice.
Stereo sounds like it will be great, post some pics when you have them

Check out my car sometime.

hey nice ride... yo7.... is your car lowered with the stock rims on it?? if so what springs did you smash in it?? and do you have more pics that you can post aswelll....

[James_yo7]

the springs are the stock commodore ones. they have just been compressed.

thanks for the comments guys

oh okay... i want my vx s looking like yours. so that means you have still got the original coils in but they are commpressed.... how do you commpress springs? is it legal??

 

[James_yo7]

just go to any suspension shop and ask them about it. they will do it for you. yes it is legal (considering its at the right height of course)

 

[kaishiz]

ohhh i see... is there any change in the ride... and what are the pros and cons for this compressed susspension thing compared to buying springs and putting them in.. will it decompress?

 

[James_yo7]
